We POWER high school students!

We like students – students are our future. The scholarship, which is sponsored by Basin Electric Power Cooperative, recognizes and encourages the academic achievements of students in the region. It’s also an investment in the economic future of rural areas. Growth in rural areas means growth for our cooperative. It’s a win-win. And we like those too.
